V7 Nav740

The V7 Nav740 is a GPS unit aimed at people who are interested in a GPS for their car but have shied away from them due to their generally high prices. At just $219 USD it's certainly very affordable, and surprisingly it's not a “cheapo” GPS unit at...

Easy to use; simple interface; tells you name of roads to turn onto

Daylight glare makes the screen hard to see; setting Home point needs to be made easier

The Nav740 is very easy to use, has great features and only minor flaws.

Magellan Maestro 4250 and V7 Nav740 GPS Devices Deliver More Than Just Maps

Both the $400 Magellan Maestro 4250 and the $300 V7 Nav740 come with big, bright 4.3-inch touch screens, detailed road maps, and plenty of features that go beyond basic navigation.

Clear maps, ton's of POI's, different languages, get's you where you have to go. Day / Night settings

Extremly slow connection and I'm from NYC. For some reason it likes to take the local route. Loses reception easily. Instructional manual was useless, only spoke about a view features. Horrible battery even we "fully charged
